“Are you the one who is to come, or should we wait for someone else?
Tell us so we can bear the word to those who have as yet not heard.
—–
(Refrain) “Open your eyes, tell what you see. For blessed are all who aren’t put off by me.”
—–
“Blind come to see sight and lame folks leap. The Lepers cleansed; the mute now speak.
The dead are raised; poor hear God’s word.” This is God’s party to be seen and heard.
—–
More than a prophet was this John. He cleared the road that we walk on.
Yet greater still are all within God’s kingdom and set free from sin.
